The Four Big Things (Chinese: 四大件; pinyin: sì dà jiàn) is a term originally applied to the four symbols of material success in China from the 1950s until the 1970s, and is now used to refer to any visible marker of newfound affluence.[1] The original list was:
A sewing machine
A bicycle
A wristwatch, generally from Shanghai Watch Company
A radio receiver, usually Red Star or Red Lantern brand
More recently, the "Four Big Things" could include televisions, refrigerators, cameras, cell phones, computers, apartments, cars, etc.[2]
